Combination author swap? #100

Open timrobertson100 opened 4 years ago

If you look at this record you'll see

basionym": "Methanobacterium ruminantium Smith & Hungate, 1958",
"scientificName": "Methanobrevibacter ruminantium (Smith & Hungate, 1958) Balch & Wolfe, 1981",
"canonicalName": "Methanobrevibacter ruminantium",
"authorship": "Balch & Wolfe, 1981 (Smith & Hungate, 1958)",

It looks like combination authorship are correct in the scientific name but swapping in the authorship field?

indeed the order in authorship field is surprising. It is copied straight from the original source record which has the same oddity: https://api.gbif.org/v1/species/111210659

This is fixed in the API, but still present in the exported DwC-A
